The preparation sheet.
The standard, the subjects, and the week-before list on one page, built to print and take to the truck. We send it to the email you give, and you get the Weekly Read with it. Unsubscribe any time.
No spam, ever. Weekly, and only when there is something worth reading.
Your dog, against this standard.
The KENAI app keeps every training day and reads it against the SHR: which subjects are covered, which are thin, what the next session should be. A read, never a prediction.
